Looking at it, it would appear that rather than a one off private sale, this person is selling needlecraft items as a business - has anyone contacted her/him to suggest that perhaps this is not the best kit to sell, and suggest alternatives? The problem for retailers who don't know the crafts they are supplying for, is that they have no idea whether the item at the wholesaler's is going to be the best thing since sliced bread or an absolute waste of space - the reason why I started teaching 10 years ago was because our local needlework/craft shop could only obtain the dreaded Dryad kit from her wholesaler, and she ended up being careful who she sold it to, making sure they had someone to support them (the problem with that kit was the instructions - the pillow, card, thread and pins OK, the (plastic) bobbins just needed attacking with sandpaper, the (plastic) beads replacing - now they are coming up at car boot sales for a pound or two - quite a cheap way of getting a reasonable pillow and a sheet of pricking card!) -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
